Abstract

The present invention relates to the field of subsea connectors allowing in situ repair of damaged subsea electrical cables used for heating subsea pipelines. Said connector (18) comprises electrical connection means (1), insulating means (5) surrounding said electrical connection means (1) and sealing means (11, 12) for preventing surrounding liquid such as sea water from coming into contact with said electrical connection means (1) in order to ensure watertightness. Said insulating means (5) are made of a wall disposed around said electrical connection means (1) so as to define a chamber (19) suitable for receiving at least one electrical cable end (20).
